U.S. to Send Missile-Defense Battery to Guam By JULIAN E. BARNES And ADAM ENTOUS

WASHINGTONThe U.S. is preparing to deploy an advanced missile-defense system to defend American military bases in the Pacific, a defensive signal indicating the Pentagon doesn't believe the threat of a possible North Korean attack is likely to fade quickly.

The U.S. will deploy the system, known as a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense battery, or THAAD, to Guam to protect against short- and medium-range missiles from North Korea. It will be the first global deployment of the system.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said North Korea has threatened attacks against the U.S. base in Guam, as well as Hawaii and the West Coast.

"We have to take those threats seriously," Mr. Hagel said in a speech at the National Defense University on Wednesday.

I don’t believe representative Johnson FROM GEORGIA was consulted on this one. [Georgians should be ashamed for sending a man to congress who is not as smart as a fifth grader, but the voters who put him in are probably less educated than he is.]

This whole NKorea thing seems laughable and nothing more than a new leader trying to talk tough. At the same time though, under Obama’s watch, I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually pulled off some of the threats they are making, the latest being to nuke the hell out of us. It just seems like if we had a president who A: didnt hate our country and B: had some balls this wouldn’t be happening.

Have done some research in this area of both countries (Iran and NK). Things have found indicate much more than the public has heard. Probably only five to ten percent are looking for and watching developments from this region (Iran and NK). Now ... did I find the correct information or did I find information I wanted to find to match conclusions I had formulated? Not certain .. is my answer. Did I read the information found with an objective set of eyes and look carefully where the information originated, what the information indicated, where the people were from both reporting and posting other little bits and pieces were from, and what was to be concluded? Can only answer I tried to be objective.

Conclusion ... more is known than can be indicated or is being indicated by leadership. Worried? If am correct the likelihood of space having been militarized has occurred and Americans are none the wiser.
